So what do you need to take into consideration before picking a Rock school in Brighton?
There are a number of points to consider before contacting a Rock school so that you can be sure you have made the right choice for either you or your child.
Firstly, do they offer a complete service? Do they offer private, one-to-one tuition with a designated tutor, rather than in a more impersonal class type format? Your progress will be greatly enhanced if you get individual attention and encouragement.
Does the Rock school solely offer lessons in a particular instrument? Some schools only teach you how to play an instrument without any structure or context to what you will actually be learning, so leaving you to fend for yourself once the lesson is over.
Make sure that the Rock school has a program of learning that involves some kind of performance aspect. This usually involves playing and working with other students in a band for a terms duration which ultimately culminates in a public performance at a local live music venue.
Does the Rock school put any emphasis on creativity? Its all very well learning songs parrot-fashion but this approach won’t give a budding songwriter any understanding how a song is written and arranged. As well as learning to play an instrument, the Rock school should encourage their students to write their own material as they learn about music, not just the instrument.
Are the staff qualified? It is always a good ides the check up on the Rock Schools’ teaching staff for any teaching qualifications they may have and also relevant experience within the music industry. You may find yourself being taught by a member of a famous rock group!
Armed with this information you should be able make a better judgement when trying to find a Rock School in Brighton that satisfies your needs.
